Do (or did) your kids call you "mummy"?

[Miaou]

And if it's did, at what age did they stop?

dd1 and dd2 call me mummy (aged 8 and 6), but I've noticed that they are unusual among their peers. I called my mum and dad mummy and daddy until I was about 15 or 16!

Is is a more southern thing? No-one I know calls their parents mummy & daddy. They'd have had the wee taken out of them mercilessly at our school if they did. (probably why I asked my parents to stop referring to themselves as mummy & daddy when I was about 6 I suppose).
Our friends' 3 yr old calls them mummy & daddy unless they don't answer him straight away then he shouts their first names or "Oi - I'm talling to you!"

Yes darling it is.

I can't remember calling my Mum and Dad 'Mummy' or 'Daddy'. DD calls me Mummy atm (17mo) but I expect she'll shorten it to Mum when she's older.

I don't mind so long as I don't get called 'Mam'. I'm from the north originally and that's quite common up there but makes me think of my Nan. (Dad called her Mam)

Yes, think it is more of a Southern thing. Although I grew up up North but my mother's a Southerner and would qualify as a snob, I think - she went to a 'good' school and was insistent that we didn't speak with a Yorkshire accent. And ended up sending us to an independent school despite it being against her left-wing principles.

Oh, and my father's not a Yorkshireman either so there was no-one to insist on regional pride and speaking with a local accent.

I think it's a class thing, more than a north/south thing.
I would rather have poked myself in the eye with a sharp stick than called my mum "mummy" but
I did know some people who did at my school.
the posh ones

So do you think that what you called your parents/what they insisted on being called has a bearing on what you want your children to call you?

DD (2.3) calls me Mummy. SO cute! I particularly love it when she says, 'C'mon, Mummy!'

expat, just out of interest, why mummy and not mommy?

I think mAm is deffo not from east sussex so must be from elsewhere

mommy is from usa and canada imho

B/c she spends days w/DH and his family, who tells her 'That's MUMMY'. She has a Scottish accent. I'm the foreign one here, not her.

Ds's 7 and 5 both call me mommy.
Will be gutted when they stop

I've noticed that some mners refer to their "mom" such as nutcracker and (I think ) nickola - but don't think they are american/canadian? Anyone else say "mom" but are british?

My 9yo and 18yo still call me mummy, while my older two mostly call me mum. Dd1 also calls me 'mutti' and dd2 sometimes calls me 'Aunt Jo'. There are no Jo's in our family so go figure!!

Yes me!
mom and mommy

ok yes I think I was wrong then with MOMMY

I know the children I was a nanny to in canada called their mummies MOMMY iyswim

I had a bf once who called his mum mother and his father by his first name. I thought he was terribly bohemian

Hate the word 'mummy' with a passion! My boys only use it to wind me up.

But I'm Irish so 'mummy' just sounds really pretensious and silly over here.

I'm mammy or mam or even ma!! I'm waiting until they're teenagers and I become 'the auld one'!!

My 8 year old ds...just stopped calling me mummy over the summer holidays...I'm just glad he did it long enough so that i am mummy rather than mum to dd (2 and a half)

The 'Mom' thing is Brummy - the accent means they pronounce it that way, so it makes sense to write it that way.
I had a pupil try to correct me when I wrote 'Mum' on the board the other day!

I was Mammy until DD1 went to school (in England) and was told it was Mummy or nothing. Protested initially but I gradually became Mummy and am now most often Mum. They do use Mam when we are at home quite often. DH is usually Daddy but Dad in front of others.
I still call my parents Mam and Dad - I could never use their first names.

I called my mum Mom and Mommy when I was little. It just seemed natural at the time and I'm not American or Canadian.

The kids call me Mum or Mummy.

I tried to get them to call me Mommy, because that's what I called my mother, but wouldn't have been surprised if they had called me Mammy as we live in Ireland. However, for some strange reason they all call me Mummy. Although my eldest has started calling me Mam just to annoy me.
